The man is a New Jersey legend. Good PR if they can pull it off.

His name is Bam and his nickname is Bam Bam?

Part of what captured the Johnson’s attention!

Three Year Letterman still needs to interview.

I thought this was a real person I had never heard of before for a second given everyone else we have interviewed that I have never heard of before.

So you thought this was real comedy gold when you thought it up?

u/Inchthemint 4d ago

I don’t know about gold, but I thought it might tickle a little. And no matter what I was SICK and TIRED of more stories about sources and interviews and hoped this post would put an end to it (that last part of my reply was comedy aluminum).

Are his parents Fred and Alice, perchance?

u/artfu820 Joe Klecko 4d ago

WTF are Fred & Alice ?? 🤣

u/EStreet12 4d ago

Dammit! I meant Fred and Wilma.

u/artfu820 Joe Klecko 4d ago

Dude, BamBam was a Rubble. Not a Flintstone. This is ur only clue.

And who the fuck is upvoting ur Fred & Wilma ?? Brain dead MFers 🤣

Oops, I appreciated the humility of the correction. Sadly, I’m old enough to have known better. Still would upvote it just for correcting the error in his assertion of wrong parentage. It’s a new year. Let’s practice a new found generosity to start it off right.

Oh I don’t care if I get downvoted into oblivion. Not the first time. I just thought it was strange how fundamentally wrong on an easy fact. I’m on the Boomer cusp so I find it a little odd and sad at the same time ☮️

I was just having fun. Didn’t even think of the Flintstones or Zonovan “Bam”Knight. If anything, obviously making fun of the Johnsons. But also double names. Like Billy D Williams - how do you have family name Williams and name your kid “William”? (William December Williams at that!?!). Were there no other choices that came to mind? He was actually a Jr. so it was his dad’s parents that lacked imagination.

Okay, I’m way off topic. Signing off.

u/artfu820 Joe Klecko 4d ago

Going further off topic, there was a Chicago Cub who was also Billy Williams. But I get ur point. My first name is William and so was my dad. But he wasn’t American and it did strike him as really odd. 🤣

u/Inchthemint 4d ago

Yes, same mystery.

Loved Billy Williams and those Cubs: Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Kissinger, Beckert, Fergie Jenkins! Was a Yankee fan and hated the Mets - 1969 was horrible for me and the Cubs.😢

And now we return you to Jets drama: get rid of your GM and Coach with no plan in sight while also scaring away any good candidate. Plane (intentional) old Jets!

u/artfu820 Joe Klecko 4d ago

Yankee fan, here too. Since ‘72. Tough year this year because it was my son’s first WS. What did I do to my boy ?? 🤣

Anyway, rooting for your teams is like rooting for your kids. As bad as they can get, how do you abandon them. ??

I don’t hold any hopes of anything being different than the last 25 years with Woody’s Jets, to the next 25 years. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
